hello. the glands in your neck can swell up due to an infection in ANY part of your oral cavity. removing tonsils does not guarantee that you will not develop sore throat, as the infection can still be there in the other regions of the throat. dont worry, meet you ENT doctor, let him examine you and start you on appropriate antibiotics. thanks
